Deputies with the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office are asking for help in identifying a male believed to be a local resident of Edwards who is a suspect in an incident at the Village Market in Edwards.

The suspect refused to comply with the Village Market’s (and Eagle County public health order) policy of keeping 6 feet away from customers and employees. He was allegedly asked by a store employee to step back and then went on a rant of how the employee was falling for the “media hype.” The suspect then allegedly got between a customer and an employee and purposely coughed on the products that the other customer was purchasing.  

These actions are a direct violation of the public health orders currently in place that have been issued by the state and Eagle County.
